Cevita Park Kite Festival Volunteers

Calling all club members…

Volunteers are needed for the annual Civita Park Kite Festival on Saturday, April 26th. While some flyers are always welcome mostly volunteers are needed for helping the kids and families with kite stuff. Decorating, prepping for flight and helping correct kitastrophies. (fix tangles, fix broken kites, try to get kites out of trees, etc.

It was a lot of fun last year but some of us were way overworked!

Please contact Ziggy at the email below if you can help.
President@sandiegokiteclub.org

Date: April 26th
Call Time: 12 pm – 4 pm
Address: 7960 Civita Blvd., San Diego CA 92108

There will be a live performance by Kearny Mesa Band from 1-2 and another band from 2-3ish. There is a splash water fountain for kids to play in and free kites provided by Civita.

This is a fun, family-friendly event. The San Diego Kite Club will assist the community by helping to teach, fly and fix kites. We will help children and adults with coloring kites. Additionally, we will help to recover kites from trees. Thank you in advance for any help and participation.

Kite Party Huntington Beach

Most importantly Kite Party is March 8 and 9 when our monthly meeting would normally. Since a number of our most active members will be at Kite Party (14 last cound) our March Meeting will be March 15 (third Saturday)

Kite Party is for a limited number of Registered Flyers and is almost full as of 23 February. If you try register I would mention SDKC. Registration priority is given to prior attendees so don’t get mad if you don’t get in.

But it is still a good time and place to be. Lots of SDKC members will be there you can hang with and a whole bunch of other pretty good flyers too. And, it is a big beach, you can still fly if the urge hits. Just move down the beach a bit for a little while.

For more info and registration see:
Kite Party
